“I’ve also been doing a lot of cardiovascular work to keep me in good shape. I’m feeling good.

“The sooner I’m back the better and hopefully it is soon because I want to get out there playing.”

“I’m in a positive frame of mind and don’t want talk too much about the past, but I do think that I’ve been unlucky with injuries.

“My leg and now this. It was unlucky. I want to put them in the past.”

Mourinho could have left Shaw behind in Manchester to work on his fitness, but brought him and fellow injured team-mates Ashley Young and Marcos Rojo out to the US to ensure they felt part of the squad and not forgotten as they continue their respective recoveries.

“At first I thought we weren’t going on tour, but deep down I think it's very important for us to come on tour,” said Shaw.

“All of the lads are away and we're with them. It's bonding for everyone to be around. I'm so glad I'm here. I'm enjoying it a lot, although I'm not playing.

“It's a really good place to be and it's a really good squad to be around. It is buzzing at the moment. This is just the start.”

Shaw, speaking to the National after United's 5-2 win over LA Galaxy in the opening game of their US tour, revealed how supportive Mourinho has been.

“When me and Ash [Ashley Young] tend to finish our sessions, we go over to see what they are doing and we see him [Mourinho],” said Shaw.

“He asks how I am, how it is going and he keeps on top of how we are and to see how far along we are.”
